While researching my topic for the Border Culture final project, I came across this great book which is available from the Leddy Library (HQ549 .T73 2008) that may serve as a starting point for anyone interested in researching issues involving women, family, immigration and social conditions around the U.S.-Mexico Border for their final project.
I thought I'd pass it along, as it doesn't fit with my research topic very well (Gendered spaces in Windsor)
Essays included in this book:
A demographic profile of children and families in the U.S.-Mexico border region / Yolanda C. Padilla and Ana Marie Argilagos
An overview of children and youth on the northern Mexican border / Catalina Palmer
The extended border: a case study of San Antonio as a transnational city / Harriett D. Romo
The complex picture of cities near the U.S.-Mexico border: the case of southern California / Belinda I. Reyes and Amanda G. Bailey
